DESCRIPTION
By Catherine Grant (University of Sussex)ABSTRACT:In this keynote lecture (delivered at the "[im]Possible Constellations: Publishing in the digital age" (The Academic Book of the Future) Symposium. held on October 31, 2015, at the University of Lincoln, UK, I examined current multimodal approaches to research and digital publishing in film and media studies. I focused on two recent examples of audiovisual essays published online alongside written texts to argue that not only would film and media studies benefit from moving “Beyond the Book” as a presentational mode, but also from embracing the new networked and digitally enriched research methods and processes that lead to these enriched scholarly media forms, too.Research Interests: Media Studies, Digital Humanities, Film Studies, Open Access Publishing, Digital Media,TRANSCRIPT
